Network Break 67: Stupid Security Spending
Category: Technology
Duration: 00:00:00
Publish Date: 2015-12-21 11:50:23
Description:

Take a Network Break! Our latest episode examines why VMware has walked away from the Virtustream joint venture with EMC, and reviews new market research that puts HPE at the top of the vendor pile for data center infrastructure.

A Nokia 5G trial yields impressive results, and Gartner predicts an SD-WAN boom in the next three years.

On the security front, we discuss better ways for big banks to spend their security dollars, and share a paper from cryptography and security luminaries on why special government access to encrypted data is a bad idea.

Former Cisco exec Padmasree Warrior takes the CEO position at an electric car company NextEV, and the Linux Foundation gathers big names around its blockchain project.

Finally, chip manufacturer EZChip can’t find a counter-offer to Mellanox’s acquisition bid, and the European Commission accuses Qualcomm of breaking anti-trust rules.

Sonus wants you to know there’s a better way to address business continuity with less cost, more flexibility, and increased management efficiency a Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) powered by Sonus. Ensure you know the differences between SD-WAN business connectivity and SD-WAN business continuity. Check out the blog post ‘QoS Done Right’ and listen to the Packet Pushers podcast with Sonus.

Sponsor: Talari

Talari s been making WANs better for eight years now, creating a THINKING SD-WAN that adapts in real time to changing conditions. Its patented approach puts intelligence in every packet and at every endpoint. It identifies packet loss, jitter, and the failure of any one network path, then uses all of the network s capacity to reroute packets and keep your data flowing. Mission-critical apps like VoIP and VDI take priority and always deliver, while less time-sensitive traffic falls in line. For more details listen to the Packet Pushers conversation with John Dickey, Talari s Co-Founder and CTO, or check them out at talari.com.
